Running For My Life

I took up running in June 2010. I didn’t think I would like it as much I do. When I’m running, I don’t have to think about anything. I just have to put one foot in front of the other and propel myself forward. All my troubles are chased away with each step. When I finish running I feel like I’ve accomplished something great. It doesn’t matter if I ran two miles or ten. It’s not simply about weight loss; it’s about health and fitness. It’s about sanity. When I’m running, I’m running for my life.

I’m going to keep track of the road races that I do. My goal is to complete a marathon. I’m not going to set a time frame in doing so. I’m just going to put one foot in front of the other until I get there.

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. -Isaiah 40:31

Do not describe yourself, your location, or anything that someone might give a shit about. Don't even approach me in person. Chances are I do not even like you and wouldn't want to talk to you anyway.

2. All characters and events appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental and something I dreamt up while sitting on the toilet. In fact, I'm not even a real person. I am a baby tapir living at the San Diego zoo.

The two have nothing to do with each other, so don't even go there.
